Nice early Christmas present ,hope you enjoy it for years to come.
I have 2 an 88 Vert & 2001 GT Coupe.
They are fun to have & drive, must say the Fox is my favorite .

I still get chills when driving it .

i had a friend of mine that had a cobra clone 5.0 look my car over, he said it looks stock except for the intake. he said something about the fuel rail but i forget what he said about it.

anyways, i'm happy with the power it has for now. i'll look into a moderate h/c/i setup later down the road.

for now, i wanted to get some opinions/ideas for exhaust. i searched around on youtube to check some sound clips out, but i'm sure there are brands i didnt see or find. i want something with a more unique and tuned kind of sound compared to something loud just to be loud. throw some names out i might not be familiar with already guys, thanks for the input!

Nice fox, One word of advice if you dont garage you car invest in a alarm/kill switch if you dont have one. Ive seen many nice fox's get stolen in The Bay.

Look around first. There is a very limited selection of four bolt rims for Fox bodies. Those cobra clones are the better looking of the bunch in my opinion. They look a little better overall with some bigger tires like maybe a 245/50 or 45 or when the car is lowered a little bit.

Post some engine bay pics, we can tell you what is stock and not.

As for the exhaust, you'll have a hard time finding something unique for a fox body, it's all been done many times over for years

i want these 1987-93 Mustang 17x9 Black SC Saleen Style Wheel - 4 Lug

VanD · December 22nd, 2010, 12:32 AM

i'm gonna keep my wheels for now. 3 of them look pretty much perfect, and ill replace the 1 with the chunk with my spare - which has a little rash.

can anyone school me on headers? i'm searching around and reading, but some of the info is a little old so i think there might be newer products without clearance issues?

not looking for anything expensive, just some that will work without problems for a decent price. i think i like the magnaflow sound for the price after going thru sound clips. i did like the bassani but dont feel the need to spend that much on exhaust.

NT_Hardcore · December 22nd, 2010, 05:33 PM

car looks clean man, really like the color

92lxstangOre · December 22nd, 2010, 08:24 PM

car looks pretty good man!

I think the rims look fine, it looks odd with the lower profile tires and its not lowered but it's all good. Engine pics please!

VanD · December 23rd, 2010, 02:37 AM

ok guys, new issue with the car - i noticed it before but wanted to see if it would fix itself / go away kinda thing and it hasnt. my speedo is wonky. when i hit 35-40ish mph it will jump up to 70ish or so and kinda bounce around there. it will only catch again once i hit 80ish plus or when i come to a stop.

my front wheels arent balanced yet, but i didnt think that was directly related to the speedo. and its not really a big deal except that its putting more miles on the odo than its actual putting on. which again isnt a major issue, just more annoying - until i go over my insurance yearly miles on accident or something.

i would like to get an aftermarket tach and speedo, but i have other things on my list higher before those so if i could fix the speedo it would be great for now. any help is greatly appreciated as always guys - i'm still a brand noob to these cars but excited to learn as much as possible as fast as possible

Jimmyc206 · December 23rd, 2010, 04:33 AM

Thats a great looking Fox. If I'm not careful O'll end up owning one soon

FastStang91Lx · December 23rd, 2010, 04:27 PM

You need a new speedo cable... 99% of the time that is the issue. If not, it's the gauge. You could try to relube the cable, but I'd rather just replace it and be done!

strictlystangs2 · December 23rd, 2010, 09:43 PM

Yeah, definitely replace the speedo cable make sure you lube the new one good so it doesn't bounce as well....

As far as wheels I think it would look sick with some black 03 cobras!!

ryanw · December 23rd, 2010, 09:46 PM

lube it with white grease, but not to much

VanD · December 27th, 2010, 09:06 PM

YouTube - Mustang GT 5.0 1993 - 3rd gear pull 3.73 gears

i just did a 3rd gear pull from about 1900rpm 30mph

my speedo cable is wonky hence that jump from 40 to 60 it took but it catches again around 60+

still unsure how stock my car is tho, if anyone can comment on my 3rd gear pull it would be appreciated.

i need a mount so i dont have to hold the cam and the wheel at the same time
